Happy 4th of July my furry friends! It’s Scotch here and I want to get you in the swing of how to best celebrate the 4th of July holiday! Take my advice and soon you’ll be enjoying relaxing, partying, and enjoying cute cat photos and cute dog photos and having a great time with your human friends, well, as much fun as you can have with them anyway!
Rule Number 1: Have Plenty To Drink
Hydration is very important my cuddly friends. One should drink plenty of water because unless you live in San Francisco like I do, it’s probably hot where you are. Once you are properly hydrated, you will want to have some big kitty and big doggie drinks on hand to celebrate. I know my daddy likes beer and wine, and sometimes vodka. I don’t drink, but I like to when daddy has some liquid in his glass. My favorite is, well I believe it’s called Vodka. As a hero of the house I have to make sure daddy’s drink is safe so I jump up to the table to do my safety test. I’ll give it a sniff, and dip my tongue into the vodka to make sure it’s ok. Then I make a precious face. And no, I don’t eat the olives! My “sister” soda, she isn’t much of a drinker. When daddy gets the vodka out of the freezer, she runs to the kitchen to see what is going on. She loves to just sniff the vodka, and soon after, she flops down on the floor and spins herself in circles on her side. Lightweight I guess. I take a more civil approach and just sip! So people, have plenty of drink, let us approve your drink and we will be enjoying your drunk behavior.
Rule Number 2: Have A Lot Of Food
Now my cute friends, there is no point of just drinking if you aren’t going to eat as well. Personally I love to eat hot dogs. And ham. And turkey. Sometimes a little cheese. I recommend having lots of hot dogs on hand to eat while you are enjoying the sun and your favorite beverage. Oh, tuna is good too! Soda loves to eat corn chips and potato chips. I try and stay away from those as I’m watching my figure. I don’t want all my spots to join together because I’m fat! But don’t eat too much my human friends. We would like you to stay healthy since you have to play mousy and toys with us. Also, the kitty litter won’t clean itself!
Rule Number 3: Don’t have friends over!
I don’t understand why you have to have friends over when you can enjoy party at your friends. It’s already a lot of house work (photo of Scotch and the dishwasher) once you have guests over. It’s exhausting! One of the best ways to party is to just go to your friends, but you have to come home sober and cuddle with me when I need my attention. I always need attention at 9:30 pm so daddy better be home by then. For you my human friends, you know your kitty’s busy schedule, so you have to work around that schedule. Now everybody is happy celebrating 4th of July! If daddy doesn’t listen to me, and has some friends over, I retire to the bedroom and make sure the carpet under the bed stays warm. Now, if there is vodka and hot dogs, well, I might decide to be a little more social, depends on my mood and who is giving out what when daddy isn’t looking!
Rule Number 4: Don’t Watch The Fireworks! Just Listen!
It’s late in the day, and the sun is going down, so it’s time to head downtown and look at the bright (and loud) fireworks. After all, you can’t celebrate the 4th of July without fireworks. I know daddy leaves the house to get a close up view of the fireworks. He always says he’s going to take me, but he doesn’t. I find my perfect spot to view them as well and that is under the bed, while I sit next to Soda and shake. I mean what is all that bright flashing light and that horrible noise? How is that fun? I’m not sure my furry friends, but I like my vantage point under the bed. Who knows those fireworks might fall into your head. The best way to enjoy fireworks with your kitty is to stay under the bed with them and so everybody is safe and just enjoys the annoying sound of the fireworks.
